Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi! Thanks for letting me in. I am not in the business of repairing electronics, I am more of a hobbyist or weekend warrior, I buy and sell stuff at flea markets and often pick up things that need repairs. I am fairly knowledgeable and competent with meters and soldering irons so I am not afraid to crack open the case and dig in. I sometimes need assistance and am here to ask you more experienced folks when I do need it. I posted an issue I am having with an LG tv ( really? an LG? wow, it's so rare that they have problems!!)...

Re: Lg smart tv 47ln5700 flashes screen then black screen

I have a 47ln5750 with a similar issue. I have 3 rows of LEDS blinking and 3 not. I switched the LEDs around and all 6 strips do work, but only in the same 3 rows. I swapped out the power board with a known good one and the same 3 rows blink. Is it a known possibility that the thin board that the LED strips plug into is bad or maybe the 4 wire cable from the power board to that board? If it is that board where can I get one, i have not seen any online. Thanks
